Mashrafe Bin Mortaza
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, the current captain of the One Day and Twenty20 international for Bangladesh national cricket team, does not need any introduction. Mashrafe, or as his fans lovingly call him "Mash" and Narail Express, is arguably the most beloved cricketer of the country. Be it our consecutive win in home series under his captaincy, his series of comebacks from severe injuries or off the field his genuine simplicity and honesty- this 32 year old pace bowler's cricketing journey has made a special place in his fans' hearts.
"Any player can be a match-winner… if you want the world to notice Bangladesh then you have meet the other players eye-to-eye,"
"I would like to urge everyone not to get too excited. We should respect all teams we play. On the flipside don't treat our defeats too harshly. Patience is very important in every aspect of life. I think the team that is developing now can put in more professional performances after 2 or 3 years."
"Let me shatter some illusions today. We are entertainers. We are not heroes. The heroes are our freedom fighters. We don't sacrifice anything for the cause of the nation. The freedom fighters did. Don't misunderstand me, cricket is not everything. What we try to do is to bring happiness to our nation."
